More attention for my book Evidence for Hope. Michael Quinn Patton interviewed me in November 2024 - the result can be seen on youtube at https://youtu.be/w6wfDMnPU0U

Another introduction to the book is a webinar for the International Evaluation Academy on Friday, 29 November 2024. The link to that webinar is https://youtu.be/tcNGB7XRYuI?si=4ZPUD6mr8cLUwCw2

For the rest this is a website on evidence and sustainability issues, based on my work as evaluation manager and as applied scientist working for King's College London and the Institute of Development Studies

Explore the site. It is all new to me, so forgive me any malfunctioning on this site...

Publications has my list of (co-edited) books and articles, that may provide further reading.
